Your comment finally made me to acquaint myself with the precise meaning of word "innovation". http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Innovation http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Innovation I think that hackers invent, not innovate. Innovation is too risky to be taken by one or even little group. It is something between an act of changing values (or axioms) of system and the process of that system change. I also think that innovation is too pompous term in the discussion of programming languages syntax. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Invention http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Invention Invention is much lesser term and much more nimble. And it could provoke innovation, of course. But for innovation we need semantics more than syntax, I think.
